--- Comment #2 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> ---
Let's take a step back here. Here's my use-case: I don't edit articles very
much, but I still want to be able to test VisualEditor when I do occasionally
edit non-articles. Today I came across [[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC]] and wanted to
use VisualEditor to edit it. I wasn't able to. :-(

You bring up a good point about user signatures, but many project-space pages
are informational in nature, not discussion-oriented.

Perhaps there's some way to programmatically detect whether a page is a
discussion page?

Or perhaps we can remove the hard restriction on VisualEditor editing? For
example, if I try to navigate to
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Meetup/DC&veaction=edit>
directly, VisualEditor won't load. We could remove the hard restriction and
leave in place the soft restriction (not exposing the user interface tab). This
would allow people like me to just hack in an extra tab. Dirty, but probably
fine for now.
